  • Title: Branhamella catarrhalis pneumonia with bacteremia in a pediatric patient with smoke inhalation.
    Author: Dietrich MC, Gerding RL, Kumar ML.
    Journal: J Burn Care Rehabil; 1990; 11(1):71-3. PubMed ID: 2107181.
    Abstract:
    Branhamella catarrhalis, a common inhabitant of the upper respiratory tract, has been identified recently as a cause of lower airway infection. In this report we present a case of B. catarrhalis pneumonia and bacteremia in a child with smoke inhalation as the first description of invasive disease involving this organism in a traumatized airway. In addition, other pediatric cases of B. catarrhalis bacteremia are reviewed, suggesting immunocompromise as a risk factor.
